Gifted students may possess the seeds of gifted leadership or may be expected to lead because of their intellectual capacities. And, as with any potentiality, leadership ability should be developed. This book looks beyond current definitions and examples of leadership to offer a framework within which to cultivate skills and abilities of leaders for this millennium. The curriculum nurtures leadership potential in elementary gifted learners through mini-lessons and activities that are structured around the four leadership frames developed by Bolman and Deal, researchers in organizational leadership. Gifted leaders may or may not be born. But they definitely can be fostered.

Easy to Use with Great Learning Material This is a great supplemental learning text that can be used by both parents and teachers. It helps children identify leaders in entertainment, politics and media. It also helps them think critically and creatively while congruently helping them develop their own leadership skills within themselves. The handouts are easily photocopied, done by students and graded accordingly.

Insightful learning with easy prep Excellent resource for parents, teachers and guidance counselors. I can imagine incredible discussions with students using the many activities that would help them reflect on their own leadership traits and the styles of others. The activities could easily lend themselves to interdisciplinary lessons – which frame of leadership do you believe this celebrity/politician/historical figure/literary character displayed and why? This is a resource you can pick up and use in the classroom tomorrow…
